Just purchased, we'll see. This is my fourth Ibanez and each one prior has held up fine.
Playability and Feel:
Action a little high out of the box. Easy adjustment though.
Tone:
All depends on your control settings and amp. Pickups are great though.
Action:
A little high, easy to adjust though.

Quality:
seems to have been carefully made. everything was properly in place. nothing has ever come loose. good solid guitar.
Sound:
has a nice range of tones from clear to crunchy, just dial in whatever you want.
Reliability:
I've had it about 8 months now and no problems. I still love it.
Overall:
looks great, sounds great, plays great.
Playability and Feel:
The feel of this guitar fits me perfectly. Neck feels great, balance is good, controls are easy to get to.
Tone:
I didn't want active pickups but thats the way this guitar is equipped. However, I must say they sound great in all aplications. I really like the fact that when both pickups are on you can blend the 2 with seperate volumn controls to get just the tone your looking for.
Finish:
absolutly beautiful blue flamed maple top. There are a couple spots on either side of the neck pickup that at the right angle look like indentations in the finish but you can't feel them. Almost seems like they drilled tiny holes in the wrong place and didn't fill them totally even with surface before the finish went on. very minor though. The rest looks pretty much flawless.
Action:
not bad, needed some setup work but very playable.

Marcia Mulloy from Juneau, Alaska, USA
Subject:
Quality plus Affordability
Quality:
I consider this product to be very well made. I have not discovered any defects at all.
Reliability:
Have not owned long enough to answer this question, but with reasonable care of the instrument I do not expect problems over time.
Overall:
I do not perform for a living, strictly for my own enjoyment, and this is my first electric. Keeping that in mind, I was looking for something I could afford and something that would not disappoint. There is nothing more discouraging than starting out with an inferior instrument, regardless of cost and skill level considerations. This guitar is beautiful to look at, a pleasure to hold, and a thrill to play. I expect to have many hours of enjoyment from it and I haven't broken the bank to get it. The payment plan is a great way to purchase and much appreciated. It was well packaged and protected for shipping and arrived in perfect condition.
Playability and Feel:
I am accustomed to playing a classical guitar. This is very different and actually kind of surprising. I can't provide a useful evaluation yet.
Tone:
There is quite a range of tones. I cannot comment on the pickups yet - still experimenting.
Finish:
Gorgeous. I chose the "Blackberry" finish.
Action:
Very comfortable. No buzz.
Skill Level:

Natalie Perry from Inver Grove Heights, MN
Quality:
The guitar plays beautifully and would be SWELL if it didn't have the moisture buildup from the box and subsequent smell that continues to dominate and come off on her fingers
Overall:
Has a lot of potential, but obviously has been sitting in a warehouse and after changing the deteriorating strings and cleaning the neck, it STILL smells fishy
Skill Level:
